This is a strange little short week for me, as I was away in Moncton for the weekend, and later this week I’ll be off again. Moncton was a good, low-key time – went to the farmer’s market, ate a lot of things (including delicious Cake Box cupcakes I always make sure to get), watched a few movies. Yep, it was a relaxing weekend with minimal opportunities to make compelling photographs. But there was an opportunity! So, here are a few frames from a very quick photo session I did on Sunday afternoon. I’m keen to share these because I realized that I haven’t done ANY portrait sessions with little girls in 2011! In fact, when I looked back at all my portrait shoots, I discovered that I get hired to photograph boys twice as often as girls. Hey parents, what’s up with that?
Little girls are cute. Especially this one.

Last week was exciting because it brought the arrival of my new sample albums! Picking the company who would supply my albums was no easy task, since I had to satisfy my needs as a photographer, my needs as a small business, AND the neurosis about longevity and quality materials that I picked up when I worked in an archives. Finally I found KISS Wedding Books, a company that fit so well with me and my values that I pretty much had to pick them. Ordering was a breeze, the turnaround time was mind-blowingly good, and when they got here… ooh la la!
So here they are, the perfect albums: simple yet elegant, modern, clean, and gimmick-free – the embodiment of my photographic philosophy. They are made from high-quality materials: full-grain natural leather covers (available in seven colours, as well as in linen for vegan types), lay-flat binding, and seamless folds (that means no cuts between pages). Images are printed on archival photographic paper, and each page is mounted on a hard substrate for strength and durability. These albums are custom-designed and hand-crafted, earning the title of heirloom. They will let your photos shine… and all of that comes in an extremely cute cloth sleeve.
The albums shown are the 10×10 full-sized album in black leather and 4×4 mini album in red leather (so cute!), each with 17 spreads. Albums are available for both wedding and portrait clients – get in touch to start the process of creating your custom-designed heirloom album!

I was pillaging the Halloween aisle at Dollarama when the thought hit me: I’d really like to photograph a Halloween-themed wedding. In the spirit of “if you build it, they will come,” I put it out there on Twitter:
Fellow photog Ashley Goodwin quickly hit me back: why not set up a styled shoot?
Well, honestly, I don’t love styled shoots. I don’t like that parts of the wedding industry seems to exist just to convince people to spend money on decor (you are not your decor, and your wedding is not your decor. Your wedding is people getting married, the end.); and I don’t like seeing photographer portfolios that are full of styled shoots instead of actual weddings. I also feel really weird about posting this when a huge conversation is happening right now within the industry about what wedding blogs are selling you… but all the same, the idea was planted.
If I ever get to shoot a Halloween wedding, it’s going to be at least a year from now, if ever. So why not take the opportunity to create a scene for my own enjoyment? I justified it to myself by conceiving, coordinating, and styling this shoot myself. Everything I purchased was with my own money, for my own amusement. (Full disclosure: the whole thing cost less than $100, and most of that was the wine. Which I will also drink with no regrets.) I installed the scene. I even designed the invitations! From start to finish it was an exercise in creativity. And sure, there’s no groom, but um… that’s because it’s not a wedding.
It was FUN! OMG, it was fun. Once I decided to go for it, I was all in. I had blast thinking about what the shoot would look like, and bringing those thoughts into reality. I giggled aloud on a few different occasions. And hey, since everyone is having their Halloween parties this weekend, you can totally use these ideas for your Halloween party. Because your Halloween party is kind of about decor. :P
So THANK YOU, Ashley, for suggesting I do something I probably never would have otherwise, and thank you to Trisha Jayne for being my model and being so great! Enjoy!

I am a style-blog junkie. This will come as a surprise to anyone who knows me and how often I go downtown bare-faced and sporting workout clothes, but I guess it’s kind of like how you can enjoy reading books but not write one.
Anyway. My friend J got me hooked, and before long my Google Reader was filled up with the likes of Kendi Everyday, Hello, Monkeyface!, What Would A Nerd Wear, Atlantic-Pacific, Selective Potential, and the sadly defunct Academichic (as you can maybe tell, my personal style skews towards Hipster Nerd (my cardigans, let me show you them!)). Then I discovered that there are style bloggers in New Brunswick, and indeed, right here in Fredericton: Doll Parade.
Kristin (that’s Doll Parade, of course) and I have been planning to get together for months now, but the timing was never right. Finally we got together, and just as we were driving up the hill to our first location, rain drops started falling on the windshield. “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!” I thought. “We’ve waited so long!” We did get rained out of our first location, but fortunately after a bit of driving around, we were rewarded with a sky that broke into incredible light. Combine that magic with how Kristin is chic as heck, and you have the makings of one frigging fabulous photoshoot. Kristin, you are gorge, fun, and fab to work with. Let’s not wait to do this again :P Enjoy!
